Name of Fish

What is the black and white fish in Finding Nemo that had the scar that helped Nemo escape? Are they good aquarium fish and would they do good in a 150 gallon with Naso, and regal tang?

Hey Jeff you could get a Heniochus if the kids are bugging ya.

They look similiar enough to make it seem as if they are "Gil" and they are much hardier. Still tricky but not entirely reef safe either.

dane, my wife saw a fish at your store that was white and black with a yellow tail but I couldnt remember what it was called. I dont think it was a foxface. I will be ready soon for some more fish. Everything is going well. The tank looks great! THANKS

Yep. It's the "poor man's moorish idol." Also not terribly reef safe but definitely much easier to keep than the idol.

For what it's worth, the Heniochus have been pretty easy to come by lately. I've seen them recently at more than one LFS. I believe both Petco and Petland in Lewisville have them in stock and my local store Pet-O-Rama in Keller also may still have one available.
